Four, actually:
HCoV-NL63, HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-HKU1.
This article discusses them, and the problem of immunity which only lasts around 12 months - a problem that could also exist with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines - we just don't know yet.
Indeed. I think that the prevalence of the rhinovirus version of a cold matches the descriptor ‘common’ more accurately when considered in the context of Icarus2001’s post. But thanks for that - we are all learning all the time - it’s been a very interesting 12 months or so.
